Waiting for the Wind to Die Down

Lu Xingyao and Wen Fenglan met when they were seven. They spent eleven years together, from elementary school through high school, until graduation after the college entrance exams sent them down separate paths. They never contacted each other again.

Lu Xingyao thought he could forget the evening breeze that had accompanied him through his youth. But seven years of drifting through life taught him that the breeze had become deeply etched into his very flesh and blood.

They could not be parted.

At twenty-five, he set foot on Icelandic soil and met Wen Fenglan, whom he had been separated from for seven years.

Only then did he understand that he was not the only one being slowly tortured by longing.

The evening breeze kept searching for a distant star, and the star was waiting for the breeze to come to rest.
